Jimmy Kimmel said President Donald Trump likes to “pretend” he’s a Christian to keep his evangelical supporters happy by going to events such as this week’s National Prayer Breakfast.
“It’s like when you’re a kid and your mom made you go to church ’cuz grandma was in town,” Kimmel said on Thursday night. “You have to act like you go every week.”
Trump said ”we have to bring religion back” at the bipartisan event.
But Kimmel has some doubts about the president’s sincerity.
“Who better to bring it back than the guy who sells ‘God Bless The USA’ Bibles for $59.99,” Kimmel snarked. “Of all the unbelievable things about Donald Trump, religious people believing he is also a religious person might be the toughest one to understand.”
The late night host made a prediction on what would happen if Trump ever met Jesus.
“He’d call him a loser and he’d tell him to get a haircut and put a shirt on,” Kimmel said.
